A case of musicogenic epilepsy is reported in which the seizures were precipitated by singing voices. It was found that some singers'' voices were particularly epileptogenic and that some of their songs, but not others, would precipitate a seizure. A study of the "offending" songs and singers did not reveal a common key, chord, harmonic interval, pitch or rhythm, and the emotional feeling or intensity of the music did not seem to be relevant. However, the voices that caused the seizures had a throaty, "metallic" quality. Such a singing voice results from incorrect positioning of the larynx such that it is not allowed to descend fully during singing; consequently, the vowel sounds produced must be manipulated by the lips or jaw to be distinguished. This trait is most common in singers with a low voice range who sing softly and use a microphone. It is not seen in trained operatic or musical theatre singers. The results of repeated testing showed that the seizures in this patient were caused by listening to singers who positioned the larynx incorrectly. 相似文献

We propose a method to engineer the genome of bacteriophages to increase their effectiveness as antibacterial agents. Specifically, we exploit the redundancy of the triplet code to design genomes that avoid restriction sites while producing the same proteins as wild-type phages. We give an efficient algorithm to minimize the number of restriction sites against sets of cutter sequences, and demonstrate that that phage genomes can be significantly protected against surprisingly large sets of enzymes with no loss of function. Finally, we develop a model to explain why evolution has failed to eliminate many possible restriction sites despite selective pressure, thus motivating the need for genome-level sequence engineering. 相似文献

Building better wildlife-habitat models 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Wildlife-habitat models are an important tool in wildlife management today, and by far the majority of these predict aspects of species distribution (abundance or presence) as a proxy measure of habitat quality. Unfortunately, few are tested on independent data., and of those that are, few show useful predictive skill. We demonstrate that six critical assumptions underlie distribution based wildlife-habitat models, all of which must be valid for the model to predict habitat quality. We outline these assumptions in a meta-model, and discuss methods for their validation. Even where all six assumptions show a high level of validity, there is still a strong likelihood that the model will not predict habitat quality. However, the meta-model does suggest habitat quality can be predicted more accurately if distributional data are ignored, and variables more indicative of habitat quality are modelled instead. 相似文献

Fasting blood lipids were analyzed shortly before revascularization surgery in an attempt to find a possible correlation between the fate of the aortocoronary saphenous vein graft and lipoproteinemia. The patency of the bypass was evaluated by arteriography at two weeks and at one year following operation. Patients with closed grafts at two weeks had an original mean serum triglyceride concentration of 287 mg./100 ml. Patients with grafts which were widely patent after one year had an original triglyceridemia of 224 mg./100 ml. The severely stenosed group had an intermediate average preoperative value of 224 mg./100 ml. The same conclusion was reached with a group of patients with good vessel(s) distal to the graft(s). Cholesterolemia was about the same in all groups. These results suggest the hypothesis that hypertriglyceridemia plays a significant role in the reduction and/or occlusion of the lumen of the vein graft. 相似文献

In their never-ending search for truth, science and medical research rely heavily on data published in peer-reviewed journals. Subsequent publication of incorrect scientific data may interfere with the process of implementation of new treatment modalities and insights and understanding of disease processes. This may be caused by simple mistakes or involuntary misinterpretation without overt scientific misconduct or fraudulent publication. 相似文献

Over the last decade transgenic mouse models have become a common experimental tool for unraveling gene function. During this time there has been a growing expectation that transgenes resemble the in vivo state as much as possible. To this end, a preference away from heterologous promoters has emerged, and transgene constructs often utilize the endogenous promoter and gene sequences in BAC, PAC and YAC form without the addition of selectable markers, or at least their subsequent removal. There has been a trend toward controlled integration by homologous recombination, either at a characterized chromosomal localization or in some cases within the allele of interest. Markers such as green fluorescent protein (GFP), beta-galactosidase (LacZ), and alkaline phosphatase (AP) continue to be useful to trace transgenic cells, or transgene expression. The development of technologies such as RNA interference (RNAi), are introducing new ways of using transgenic models. Future developments in RNAi technology may revolutionize tissue specific inactivation of gene function, without the requirement of generating conditionally targeted mice and tissue specific recombinase mice. Transgenic models are biological tools that aid discovery. Overall, the main consideration in the generation of transgenic models is that they are bona fide biological models that best impart the disease model or biological function of the gene that they represent. The main consideration is to make the best model for the biological question at heart and this review aims to simplify that task somewhat. Here we take a historical perspective on the development of transgenic models, with many of the important considerations to be made in design and development along the way. 相似文献
